I see what you're saying, but I don't see this kind of player just staying at CB. Piqué would be a great DM on a lot of teams outside of Barça. If we see more and more players getting pumped out at this size and technique, it would be a waste to put them all at CB. (Also, Piqué isn't as quick as you'd like in a midfielder...)
What if Zidane was two inches taller and stronger? Would he have been weaker with the ball?
The center of gravity argument is important, though, didn't think of that.

Busquets is probably the most skillful tall midfielder right now, but he's not necessarily quick. He emerged as slow centerback and then converted to a pivoté in the midfield once he reached first team. Yaya Toure is really the only freak athlete who is big, fast, strong, and gifted with the ball at his feet.
Look at the heights of some of the best seven or so players in the world right now:
Messi 5'7"
Iniesta 5'7"
Xavi 5'7"
Ronaldo 6'1"
Eden Hazard 5'7"
Neymar 5'9"
Rooney 5'9"
RVP 6'1"
Only two of those players are above six feet in stature.
